Exactly my thoughts as well. Exploitation of undisclosed vulnerabilities would be truly wild. I’d say they’re just doing a China and asking Zuck & friends “politely” to open backdoors.
I'm not at all surprised that authoritarian politicians would want features like this. From a technical perspective, though, I'm curious about how they would go about implementing them. Would they integrate backdoors into widely used apps with camera access, like WhatsApp? Or would they rely on exploiting zero-day vulnerabilities in operating systems?
